“…Motivation is evidently involved in regulating the athlete’s performance; when present, it leads to an inner strength that pushes individuals toward realizing their objectives and fulfilling their wants and expectations. Motivation is consequent to both external and internal sources: while internal motivation is caused by a vigorous state of needs and interests; and external motivation or the environment possesses a much lower impact on the athlete (Mihailescu et al , 2013).…”

Purpose In the presence of limited financial resources, developing countries such as Lebanon often allocate small budgets to the sports sector. Even more, the Lebanese Government lacks a strategic approach that is necessary for any nation to achieve elite sport success. This study aims to assess the motivations and barriers that impact Lebanese athletes’ achievements at the Olympics by addressing the factors that affect such participation. Two main aspects were put into the study: lack of governmental support and sponsorship. Design/methodology/approach This study examines the barriers that hinder achievement by Lebanese Olympians in their International participation with an emphasis on the factors that affect their performance whether positively or negatively. The methodology consisted of a set of survey questions filled by 50 Lebanese athletes and 4 interviews conducted with Lebanese Olympians to make use of their experience and insight regarding such barriers and how to best boost motivation among young and potential talent. Findings The findings shed light on the limited Lebanese Olympic participation; out of the 17 participation (226 Olympians in total), only 4 Olympians won medals for the country; the past victory was 38 years ago. The reasons as reached are mainly due to the lack of government support and the inability of athletes to secure-related sponsors. Specifically, a lack of governmental support has a negative correlation with athletes’ achievements in international contests. Moreover, the inability of athletes to secure the financial support, in the form of sponsorship, necessary for the training, preparation and all the way to participation. Research limitations/implications The study revealed a lack of active participation from the government in nurturing skill and elevating talented athletes’ chance to achieve in the Olympics. The main factor that this study was able to identify is the lack of an official body to manage the nurturing, training, financial support up to participation of the athletes in the international events. Practical implications The study highlighted the importance of training camps and consistent improvement to performance. While these two require extensive investment and devotion, athletes on their own cannot afford to fulfill the requirements without the support of the government; the latter being almost absent. Originality/value The insights provided through this study address the importance of sponsorship and government support in athletes’ achievements. It shed light on areas that are nonexistent for the Lebanese case and provided practical recommendations that if applied, would increase the chances of Lebanon in competing effectively in the international arena.

“…Human performance, including the sportive one, can be explained as a multiplicative factor of motivation and opportunities /skills, (Epuran, Holdevici & Tonita, 2008). In opinion of Mihailescu, Haralambie, Mihailescu & Mihailescu (2013) motivation is expressed by a special state of psychological tension based on the correlation between perception and thinking. Motivation "is a state that energizes the behavior and gives it a direction " (Atkinson & Hilgard, 2005).…”
